kayleigh mcenany in for sean. and tonight, a major development just outside our nation's capitol. this was all thanks to a joint operation between the fbi, the doj, and the state of virginia. a notorious illegal immigrant. ms. 13 gang leader, one of the worst in the country, was taken into custody this morning. authorities also uncovered multiple firearms, ammo and silencers inside his room. look at that cache of weapons. that's what they found in this guy's room. now, according to governor glenn youngkin, who will join us in just a moment, he was instrumental in this. today's arrest could not have been possible without president trump. >> this task force was architected in a very quick period of time and stood up immediately. and in fact, when director patel was confirmed within a day, he authorized this facility and these capabilities. general bondi

immediately came to lead it. and i just want to emphasize the pace and the focus. and so, no, these were not lists that were available in the previous administration because they wouldn't do that. and i cannot emphasize enough the collaboration and support and leadership out of the new administration. that is so different than what we saw in at least the previous three years of my administration. >> sometimes all it takes is a new president, one with common sense, with dedication to the american people to get things done. meanwhile, trump's homeland security secretary, kristi noem, well, she took initiative. she landed in el salvador, of all places, where she toured this notorious prison system now holding illegal immigrant gang members deported from the united states and sent straight to these cells. >> here at cpac today. and visiting this facility. and first of all, i want to thank el salvador and their president for their partnership with the united states of america to bring our terrorists here and

to incarcerate them and have consequences for the violence that they have perpetuated in our communities. i also want everybody to know, if you come to our country illegally, this is one of the consequences you could face. first of all, do not come to our country illegally. you will be removed and you will be prosecuted. but know that this facility is one of the tools in our toolkit that we will use. if you commit crimes against the american people. >> what an image. will. president trump is negotiating even more spots in that very prison for the most violent, illegal immigrants arrested in the united states. but president trump is going to need help from congress. and that's why he asked representative elise stefanik to withdraw from consideration as his u.n. ambassador and stay on capitol hill instead, to shore up that razor thin majority in the house. joining me now, new york congresswoman elise stefanik, joins me with more. congresswoman, you know, a lot of people praising your action today as selfless as really heroic for the agenda of

president trump. i want to pull up this razor thin house majority. this is what we were looking at here. 218 to 215 is the narrow majority. 218 to 213 rather, which means republicans can only lose two votes on any given piece of legislation. a senior white house official told our peter doocy that when you look at this, this seat that you are in could have been vacant for most of the year. we don't have time to waste. they were referring to governor kathy hochul, who is no friend of the trump administration and would like to hold your seat open as long as possible. there were a lot of political realities at play, and i'm hoping you can take me behind the scenes into exactly how this transpired and what the thought process was. >> well, thank you, kayleigh. first of all, i was honored to have earned that nomination by president trump, and i'm proud to be one of his top allies on capitol hill. this goes back to fighting against the witch hunt impeachment. it goes back to being the first member of congress who endorsed him, as well as leading the charge in so many ways to combat

anti-semitism, which of course, he is taking action on today. i know the stakes. as an elected representative for new york's 21st district and as a previous member of leadership in the house, that we need to secure the border, cut taxes, unleash american energy independence, and deliver these historic results on behalf of the president. because of this tremendous mandate that the american people gave him. so i have been proud to be a team player. the president knows that. he and i had multiple conversations today, and we are committed to delivering results on behalf of the american people. and as always, i'm committed to delivering results on behalf of my constituents. >> what was the timeline on this? did this all transpire today? was it a long and thought out conversation? there's a lot of factors. there's, of course, the key election in florida on tuesday. there's kathy hochul's part in this. there's the notion that your seat has an open does not have an open primary. so there's a lot of factors. you know, what was the timeline of this? was this a quick decision

or one that was long and thought out? >> well, as you know, kayleigh, i have been i had my hearing the day after the inauguration. the hearing went incredibly smoothly. it passed by voice and there's been universal praise for the nomination. the reality is, as democrats as we see in new york state, it is totally corrupt. kathy hochul started threatening to move the ball on the election date. you see a highly, highly politicized radical left trying to do everything they can to defeat the president. and this is about stepping up as a team. and i am doing that as a leader to ensure that we can take hold of this mandate and deliver these historic results, that we can pass this reconciliation bill, which will have tax cuts, it will have border security, american energy independence. and importantly, i look forward to continuing to hold higher education accountable for their failures, as well as all of my work on the house armed services committee and in the national security space that i have been known for at the highest levels in congress. so it really came to a culmination today, but it was a combination of the new york corruption that

we're seeing under kathy hochul, special elections and the house margin. and look, i've been in a house. it's tough to count these votes every day. and we are going to continue to defy the political prognosticators and deliver, deliver victory on behalf of president trump and importantly, the voters across this country. >> congresswoman, you were the first congresswoman or congressman, first member, i should say, to endorse president trump for president. i remember when i was press secretary, he called you a republican star. you showed that to be the case in the antisemitism hearings, where you were responsible for some of these presidents stepping aside. you've been instrumental to this party. a warrior for the party. house speaker mike johnson had this to say about you today. we'll pull this up here. today's selfless decision shows america what those of us who work with elise already know. she's deeply devoted to her country, fully committed to see president trump's agenda succeed in congress. i will invite her to return to the leadership table immediately. your old spot gop conference

chair is taken by lisa mcclain. what do you think your new leadership position will look like? do you even know yet? >> you know, i'm going to continue speaking out. the good news, kaylee, is because i am not pending confirmation the american people will be hearing a lot more from me because you're limited in what you can say when you are pending confirmation. so i'm glad to have joined fox today, as i will continue to do, and just look forward to sharing my voice as i always have, being one of the top fighters and top allies on behalf of president trump and behalf of the american people, and on behalf of my district, standing up for our principles to make sure that we have a strong economy, a secure border, strong national security, and that we are unified as a team to deliver historic results. >> you know, president trump, i noticed in his truth social today, where he very much praised you and your efforts for the party. he said this at the very end. i look forward to the day when elise is able to join my administration in the future. it sounds like he has a spot for you down the line. can

you even put your mind there? i mean, four years is a long time. there's going to be a lot of turnover, a lot of spots that open. elise. >> well, the president is going to continue to deliver just incredible results. he has had a nearly perfect first few months and has just done a tremendous job on delivering what he campaigned on. and i was proud to be by his side, campaigning all across the country, making sure we held this house majority specifically focus on fighting back against the politicization and the illegal weaponization of the witch hunts stemming from new york state. i will continue to do that. he knows that, and i look forward to continuing to serve in different ways. and, kailey well, i've been in the house quite a long time. i, you know, am proud to still be one of the youngest members, although i'm very happy that there are younger ones too. but this will be my 11th year in the house, and i have a long ways to go and will continue to speak out and use my voice to help the american people and stand up and support the president. >> and congresswoman. one last

question, because hakeem jeffries in the d triple c, they're all out there saying this is, you know, a sign that the trump agenda isn't working. and it's almost laughable because when you look at polling, you see president trump at record highs in nbc. you see him at record highs in cnn and our fox polling, and then you see hakeem jeffries there and the democrats at record lows. so is this just political posturing he's doing because it seems to have no bearing. in truth. >> it's desperate political posturing from the democrats. as you pointed out, kayleigh, they are polling at a historic low point versus president trump has historic approval ratings as well as congressional republicans have historic approval ratings right now. and i want to point out that hakeem jeffries actually has among the lowest approval rating for any leader of either party in the house in modern history. and add on top of that, you have the implosion of chuck schumer, who is likely going to face a very, very contested primary in new york state. and you have governor kathy hochul, who is the lowest

polling new york state governor ever. so this is a democrat party that is in absolute freefall. democrats are democrats are failing to unify versus republicans are defying all political odds. we are defying what the media is saying and continuing to pass these important agenda items, which we will do in the house, working through the senate. and the president will be there to sign them. but this is a shift in leadership from the abysmal failure of joe biden to the strength that we're seeing under president trump. i've been proud to be a part of it. i am here to deliver results on behalf of my constituents and the american people. and that's what i committed to doing today with the president. and i consider him a friend. i'm proud to be a leader in the house in terms of one of his top allies, and that will continue to be the case. >> well, congresswoman elise stefanik, you're being praised as a selfless warrior, and i look very much forward to seeing what the future holds for you. thank you so much. well, america created the greatest democratic system in history, and our country

rebuilt europe after world war two. let's not forget that among many other incredible feats. but do not tell that to far left political analyst tiffany cross. she insists that america was just never great. >> they ran on this whole. idea of this pseudo. >> patriotism. >> this. >> regressive masculine patriotism. yet everything they're doing runs against making america great. it was never great. so i'm not going to say the again part, but making america great. >> joining us now with reaction outkick founder clay travis, along with the host of outkick, tomi lahren, is fearless. tomi lahren. i mean, clay, when i look at this, our country, i just said rebuilt europe. put the first man on the moon, first in flight with the wright brothers, but oh no, no, we were never great. how could you make such a statement? >> well, because. >> you. work on. >> cnn and i'm glad. >> we shared it. kaylee. >> great to be on with. >> you because otherwise nobody would have seen it because

nobody's watching cnn because of. >> arguments like that. >> that they are making. and look, the reality is america is the greatest country that's ever existed in the history of the world. and the reason why people like tiffany cross can sit on cnn or msnbc or write in the new york times or the washington post about how awful america is, is because of the incredible wealth and the incredibly capitalistic success that we have created in this country to allow dissenters to continue to make millions of dollars talking about how awful the country is. that's pretty amazing. and you know what i'm glad about kayleigh? next year is going to be the 250th anniversary of us declaring independence from great britain. and thank the lord that donald trump is going to be here to throw a big, awesome, incredible birthday party for this nation. because can you imagine if kamala harris and tim walz had been trying to celebrate america? it would have failed. i can't wait to see the party trump's going to throw. >> no, do not make me put my head there. clay, i think it will be quite an epic party.

you know, tomi, if you watch this, if you watch this clip, you see joe borelli just bemused and utter amazement that someone could say america was never great. and scott jennings with the facial expressions. but joe borelli replies to her and says something to the effect of this is why democrats keep losing. and i think that's right. we all remember maya gay of the new york times, you know, saying, i get triggered, whatever the word was. when i see american flags on trucks, i think people are tired of democrats ripping down the country, but nevertheless, they persist. >> yeah. well, kayleigh, i'll also say this. the united states of america is such a great. country that even those who hate it refuse. >> to. >> leave it. i actually give folks like rosie o'donnell a little bit of credit, because at least they put their money where their mouth is, and they skedaddle on out of the greatest nation on the face of the earth. they will not be missed. but i'll tell you this. here's one thing i do appreciate about this comment

on cnn. at least the democrats and the democrat surrogates are finally being honest. you know, back in the era of kaepernick, this was pretty mainstream for democrats. they hate america, as you mentioned. it's oppressive, it's racist, it's misogynist. and then they tried to shift that narrative a little bit with kamala and tim walz, with the camo hats. they wanted to take back the american flag and patriotism. it was so disingenuous. the american voters saw right through it. but now they're back to their original, and i believe, their authentic selves hating america. so i at least am happy for the transparency. be honest. it's better to do that than try to fool the american people into thinking you actually like this country. >> you know, clay, if we would have played more of that. tiffany cross goes on to talk about, quote, masculine patriotism. and i am wondering, i didn't know patriotism had a gender, but i'm wondering if you could explain to tommy and i what masculine patriotism is. >> i'll tell you what it ain't.

it ain't tim walz with the spirits fingers, doing the leg kicks, trying to convince red state america that he represents them. and this honestly, is one reason democrats build on what tommy said are losing so much is they've lost men. men are tired of being told, hey, you're the reason why this country stinks when guess what? we think the country is pretty amazing. and i just think when you look at the data, when you look at the cnn poll, when you look at the nbc poll, the reason why democrats are collapsing is ultimately they have a failed idea of what america is. and kayleigh, you know this and i know tommy knows it too. the decision to try to make 1619 the foundation of america instead of 1776 to root america in the original sin of slavery, as opposed to the flourishment of human rights. the fact that america bends towards righteousness. it's an attempt to destroy the narrative of america, because if they can destroy the narrative of

america, we don't have to respect the declaration of independence. we don't have to respect the constitution. that's really where this argument is headed. if they are allowed to continue it. and i hope we have a lot of masculine and feminism, patriotism when it comes to next year's 250th celebration of america. >> yeah, thanks for putting the tim walz jazz hands in my mind. i will have nightmares tonight. thanks to you, clay travis, tomi lahren, thank you very much. >> welcome. >> all right. well, as big moves are happening at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, the democratic party is in shambles. according to the washington post, a, quote, populist uprising is underway as attendees at recent democratic events. so these are democrats used words like weak and lame to describe their own party. oof, that's harsh, with some even floating wild theories about a military coup. and now even some elected

democrats appear to be using violent rhetoric. this week, the left's rising star, congresswoman jasmine crockett, called for senator ted cruz to be knocked over the head. >> but like, it's ted cruz, i mean, like, this dude. >> has to be knocked over. >> the head, like. >> hard, right? like there is no niceties with him, like, at all. like you, you go clean off on him right here. >> now to respond, texas senator ted cruz. senator cruz, how do you respond to a democratic congresswoman suggesting you should be knocked over the head? >> look. >> i don't know her. she's she's. >> a congresswoman from dallas. i've never. >> met her, as far as i. >> can tell. >> she's never done anything in the house of representatives other than than than scream obscenities. but but i'll say it's sad. it's really sad that this is where the democrat party is. you know, you were talking a minute ago in your last segment about how the democrat party, they're

floundering, they don't stand for anything other than rage and hatred. they hate donald trump, they hate elon musk. they are now the party of violence. she's happily calling for violence. you know what? we see death threats across the board. by the way, donald trump had two assassination attempts. and that kind of rhetoric is it plays into it. you know, this it is unfortunate to see the rage we're seeing right now, domestic terrorism directed at tesla dealerships with with radical leftists coming in with molotov cocktails, bombs. we had bombs in an austin tesla dealership firing guns. somebody's going to get killed. and at some point, the democrat party needs to stop being out of their minds. like when i was first elected 13 years ago to the senate, there was such a thing as moderate democrats. they're not anymore. they now just are the party of rage and

hatred and extremism. and that's an unfortunate thing for our country. >> senator cruz, i'm hoping you can straighten something out for me, because i have so many democrats who say to me, look, there's all this rage at republican town halls. that was the talking point, the viral talking point. but then i read the washington post, and democratic voters are calling their own party lame. i've seen soundbites of people screaming down democratic members like glenn ivey. it seems like the rage is from the democratic party at their town halls. what are you seeing? >> well, listen, i think the rage at republican town halls was entirely astroturf. we saw the left paying and hiring left wing activists to show up at town halls. george soros, there's a whole apparatus where they fund. i'll tell you something, kayleigh. so last year, for about seven months, i had every saturday morning at 7 a.m. pro-hamas protesters in

front of my house. they would show up at 7 a.m, they would scream at the top of their lungs, they would bang bells. they would scream curse words. they'd drop f-bombs. they'd wake up the small children who live in the houses nearby me. and what was interesting is they would show up at 7 a.m. and they'd leave at eight. it was clearly paid for. they were being paid. as far as i could tell. these protesters were not palestinian. they were just leftists who were getting a paycheck. 7 a.m. they were there 8:00 801 they were gone. and it went for about seven months, and then it disappeared. they'd never come back. and it was clear whoever was writing the paycheck at some point, they decided, all right, well, we've harassed my family long enough. let's go harass someone else. it was entirely fake. it was paid for. and so when i look at these town halls, i think the people showing up are leftists who are getting a paycheck, who are trying to create the corporate media is more than happy to be complicit and say, oh, voters

are mad. i'll tell you when i'm home in texas, texans are thrilled. we're thrilled the border is being secured and 98% drop in illegal immigration. we're thrilled the president is standing up to our enemies. we're thrilled that the war on on texas energy and american oil and gas has ended. we're thrilled. i got to tell you, in my whole life, i've never seen a president hit the ground running the way donald trump has. and it is extraordinary. and what i'm hearing from texans is a lot of gratitude. you know, last week on my podcast verdict with ted cruz, i interviewed elon musk. i did an hour long one on one interview, and one of the things i conveyed to him, as i said, elon, before i did this interview, i tweeted out, hey, if you could have a beer with elon, what would you say to him? the most frequent comment i had and i passed this on to elon was texans and americans saying, thank you. thank you for enduring the vilification, the demonization. thank you for standing up and fighting

alongside president trump to save this country. that's what i'm hearing. >> you know, i only have a few moments, senator cruz, but i do want to ask you about a cryptocurrency bill you have passed. the senate should be going to president trump's desk, and it's rolling back the abusive regulations of president biden. is that right? >> that's exactly right. the biden administration, in the closing days of the administration, put in place an irs rule attacking cryptocurrency, attacking decentralized finance and treating those engaged in decentralized finance as broker dealers. it would have put an enormous amount of people in the crypto world out of business. it was wrong. so i introduced a resolution to repeal it. we brought it up for a vote on the floor of the senate, and we got a massive bipartisan vote. we got about 70 votes for repealing that rule. it is the single largest vote in history for a for a repeal of a regulation. and

listen, one of the big issues in this last election was bitcoin and crypto. i am the leading defender of bitcoin and the leading defender of crypto in the united states senate. and the left hates bitcoin and crypto. elizabeth warren hates bitcoin and crypto for the same reason communist china does, because government can't control it. and kelly, that's why i love it. >> man 70 votes. so there are a few democrats who believe in the free market, at least for crypto. well that's encouraging. senator ted cruz, thank you. all right. coming up, virginia governor glenn youngkin assisted the trump administration in arresting one of the top ms. 13 gang members in the country. the details next. >> the fox nation spring sale is happening now. >> see it for yourself. >> before it's. >> too late. now's the time to. >> discover everything fox nation has to offer for just 2.99 a month. stream new episodes of jesus crown of thorns. >> who do you say i am? >> you are the.

we'll send you a bottle of vitamin d3 absolutely free. >> welcome back to the special

edition of hannity. we move on to this violent criminal illegal aliens finally facing justice for the first time in years. and few people know that better than virginia governor glenn youngkin, who witnessed three years of president biden's complete inaction. well, there's a new sheriff in town, president trump. and today, youngkin was instrumental in assisting the successful law enforcement operation against ms. 13. also with trump's backing, youngkin is eliminating dye at public universities around the commonwealth, and he's appointing boards of visitors to make sure that the school stays on track for years to come. long beyond the one term he can stay in office as virginia governor. now, he's also earned a pretty interesting nickname, vito corleone, because he just vetoed over 150 bills that far. leftist passed through the democrat controlled senate and legislature as many users on x like to say, quote, this is the way. joining us now with more

governor glenn youngkin. governor youngkin, let's start with that operation. today. there's this inter-agency task force. it's the first of its kind, the fbi, the doj, you as governor of virginia. and i want to put up the results just a few weeks of this task force that you've been working with. and here are the results. just in your state, 28 ms. 13 members arrested, 19 tda, 27 tok. that's trans organized crime and seven other gang members. just in a few weeks. you have done this. you were sworn in january 15th, 2022. you had three years under president joe biden's leadership. now that switched. and in two months you've accomplished this. what's the difference between working with biden for three years and trump for two months? >> well, kelly, you said it perfectly. for three years, i've been declaring that virginia is not a sanctuary state. and president biden, with his open border policies, turned america into a sanctuary

country. well, with president trump's leadership and the great group of appointees that have been confirmed, we went to work. and today, this collaboration between state police, our department of corrections, homeland security, the fbi, ice, and lots of folks from the u.s. attorney's office. we went to work and they brought down one of the top ms. 13 operatives in america. and let me tell you today, virginia is safer, america is safer. and nowhere is there sanctuary for these violent, illegal immigrants. and it has been collaboration, kelly, that i have never seen before. rooms full of professionals who are going to work. and i'll tell you, on top of all of the gang members, we've also had about 300 violent illegal immigrants that have been arrested ready for deportation as well. this is how state and federal government should work. i didn't have it for three years,

and as soon as president trump showed up, we went to work. and we're making america and virginia safer. >> so they're calling you vito corleone from the godfather. i heard one person call you the killer of leftist dreams because you vetoed so many bills. in fact, 159 vetoed bills this week, some of them really bad, like bills that would have prevented praying in front of abortion clinics. what are you doing down there in virginia? it sounds like some pretty radical things are coming to your desk. >> well, one might say that it's not personal. it's only business. but the reality is it is personal. it's personal for virginians. over the course of the last three years, virginia has become the top state in america for business. we have had massive in-migration for the first time in over a decade. we have seen the excellence restored in education in our schools. we just had the leading decrease

in chronic absenteeism in the country from our schools, where our kids are now back in the classroom like never before. we are working so hard to make sure that we've reduced over 35% the murders in virginia. the bottom line is it's working, and i'm not about to let the progressive left send me a bunch of bills, because we're one seat down in both houses of our senate and our house of delegates. bills that are bad for business, bad for families, and on top of that, want to put criminals in front of victims and most importantly, take us back to where we were before i became governor. and so yes, i have a big box of pens. we have been using them frequently, and i'll make sure that, yes, the 157 vetoes that i had this year are added to the ones from last year. i think i'm over 400 vetoes since i've been governor. but as i said, this is what we have to do in order to protect virginia from moving backwards and make sure we continue to move forward as being the best state in america

to live, work and raise a family. >> yeah, you hold the veto record there in the commonwealth, as i understand it. one last question, and i only have a few moments. but on di, president trump instructed to get di out of our schools. you are one of the few governors i would note who took this to task and said, i'm doing this right away. you got de out of uva, vcu, longwood, radford and virginia community college. what was so insidious about di that you said, it's time to just get this out and get it out immediately. >> well, first we add virginia tech to that list as well. and so we are seeing all of our colleges and universities where di has been embedded not just for years, but for decades. and di is dead in virginia. we're going to work. and i'll tell you, the most important thing is that virginians elect winsome earl sears, governor, this year. so the same kinds of collaboration with the federal government can continue, and virginia can continue to soar and not go backwards. >> well, she is fierce. that

mcmahon said in part, quote, teachers and school counselors should not be in the business of advising minors entrusted to their care on consequential decisions about their sexual identity and their mental health as well. and that responsibility, that privilege, lies with a parent or a trusted loved one, makes a lot of sense. and earlier today, she sent a letter to california governor gavin newsom warning him to ditch gender identity and comply with title nine or risk losing federal funding. education secretary linda mcmahon joins me now with more. secretary mcmahon, i read your letter to gavin newsom, and what i love so much about it is you pointed out at the top, you know, gavin newsom, you had this newfound realization that it's unfair to have biological men and women's sports. and yet you point out something that he has yet to call for the legislature to fix that. in the new york times, i'm reading an article from march 6th where they say he's yet to take a

legislative position. so is he trying to have his cake and eat it, too? here? >> sounds like it. but i think it's time for him to put his money where his mouth is, you know, and really give, give these rights, you know, to parents. i mean, can you imagine? we've got kind of twofold things going on here. one, he's saying boys and men shouldn't compete with girls sports, but he's just saying boys and girls. he's not addressing the issue of trans gender. so for boys who identify as girls, he's not taking a stand on that at all. and that's continuing to happen in schools in california. the other side of this is the withholding of information from parents and that's, you know, violation of ferpa, which parents have the right to be informed about what is happening with their children in school. and so for those schools that are allowing counseling for transgender or, you know, encouraging children without parental consent, we just cannot allow that, and we're not going to stand for it.

>> so that's something i'm deeply concerned about as a parent. these parental secrecy policies where my daughter could change her gender and her name and somehow not tell the parent that it's absolutely nuts. and you're saying with his positions on sports and on these parental secrecy policies, he's violating title nine and ferpa. so what's the timeline on this? when does he need to comply with federal law? and then what's the consequence if he chooses not to do so? >> well, we've certainly put him on notice. and there are some universities in california that are already being investigated. but he's going to have to step up to the plate and do this. we didn't specify a timeline in the letter, but clearly i think he knows that it's going to be imminent or risk defunding for some of the universities, you know, in his state. >> yeah. and we've seen the trump administration defund several of these institutions, and we've seen some of them step up and play ball, including columbia, which defies my mind. didn't think they would do it, but they did. they know president trump means business. i want to pull up a

poll just to show where the american people stand on this. they stand with you, secretary mcmahon. they stand with president trump. this is a new york times poll. they found 80% of americans, 80%, including more than two thirds of democrats, oppose allowing biological men to compete in women's sports. so how much of this with gavin newsom is political expediency? i'll tell charlie kirk this is unfair and then take no action because i have long term political plans. >> well, it clearly is political as far as i'm concerned. and i think the general public listening to gavin newsom understands that he's just done a total flip flop on his position. how can they take him seriously when he won't, you know, address it through the legislature, but he'll talk about it. it sounds good now to say on this 80 over 20 issue. yeah, that i'm in favor of not allowing men or boys to participate in girls sports. it's easy to say, but let's let's have some action. let's let's show that you

prove, you know, prove you mean what you say. and let's do it right now. >> secretary mcmahon, i love it because you mentioned he's talking a lot. he's got that new podcast, but you're demanding action. you're getting answers and you're prepared to take action if you don't get them. secretary mcmahon. keep up the great work. all right. well, coming up, the left's targeting of elon musk and tesla continues despite doj's continued efforts to tackle waste, fraud and abuse in the government. bret baier sat down with musk in the doge team. it was fascinating. we'll show you it next. >> ge nova powers america every. day. as the. >> leading american. >> energy manufacturer, we've never stopped building the technologies that drive today's economy and define the future of energy. we know an abundant, independent and secure energy system starts here at home. it's why we're investing millions in american manufacturing and creating

thousands of new jobs. together, we will lead a new era of energy for america and the world. ge voronova. >> we're in a very holy time of the year. we think in terms of a deliverance. >> this is where she washes the dishes. >> if you're. >> ever going. >> to allow your. >> christian faith to rise and to do something. >> for god's. chosen people, now. >> is the time. >> this is. >> the. >> home of galena. >> she's 96. >> years old. >> this is what she had to eat for today. >> she has one pot with water and wheat. >> when my father was killed by the nazis and i was an orphan, i didn't know about god. but now, in the cold, hungry nights, i prayed for food to the god i've never known. there are good people that love you. >> you see the tears. >> scripture says joy can come

in the morning and you can be the reason. >> this passover. >> if you will bless these hurting children of israel, you will receive god's. blessing in return. your urgent gift today of $25 will help. rush a survival food box filled with life saving essentials and. matzo for the passover holy day. call, scan or. >> go online now. >> i'm not exaggerating when i tell you i don't know how much longer she could have waited for us to come. >> i can't even grow my food anymore. what will happen to me? i'm doomed to starve. >> tens of thousands of elderly survivors in the former soviet union are living in extreme poverty, hungry and forgotten. but through the international fellowship of christians and jews, we can bring them hope. >> eggs. >> it's my favorite food. may you be blessed. >> you say to them, we see you

and we're here to help. >> please don't delay. call, scan or go. >> online now. >> the headlines, the events, the story. martha maccallum breaks down every angle. >> here's where the. growing. go to shipstation. com

to start your free trial today. >> welcome back to the special edition of hannity, the targeting of elon musk and tesla continues. but doge is undeterred. musk and his team

keep working to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the government and in retaliation for that, a new york state senator just introduced a bill that would take away permits for tesla's in-person sales locations across the state. meanwhile, in las vegas, police have arrested a suspect in connection with this attack at a tesla center last week. but despite these repeated attacks, top democrats are still refusing to condemn the violence against musk, against tesla owners and tesla dealers. >> do you think about. >> what's happening with the tesla products, the violence at the dealerships? what's your take on the situation? >> i'm a little. bit late here right now. >> what's your take on it? do you denounce the violence? >> now, with or without this democratic support? doge has vowed to continue its work. and this week, doge announced it terminated over 100 contracts valued at 4.7 billion of your taxpayer dollars, including a contract for, quote, peru climate change activities.

important work. earlier tonight, musk and his team sat down with bret baier for an interview and one doge employee. i found this part to be so interesting. explain that. just not as many federal employees have been fired as what the left wants you to believe. take a listen. >> president trump's been very clear. scalpel. not hatchet. and that's the way. >> it's getting done. and then. >> once those decisions are made, there's a very heavy focus on being generous, being caring, being compassionate, and treating everyone with dignity and respect. >> and if you look at. >> how people have started to leave the government, it is largely through voluntary means. >> and you've heard. >> a lot of a lot of news about riffs, about people getting fired at this moment in time, less than 0.15, not 1.5, less than 0.15 of the federal workforce has actually been

given a riff notice. >> and that's not all. here's more of what they told bret baier. >> how do. >> you reassure people that what you all are doing is not going to affect their benefits? >> no. in fact, what we're doing will help their benefits. legitimate people as a result of the work of knowledge, will receive more social security, not less. >> i'd say there's a couple of things we're really committed to in our work at hhs. number one, making sure we continue to have the best biomedical research in the world. and number two, making sure which president trump has said over and over again that we 100% protect medicare and medicaid. >> really what we're doing is. >> we're applying. >> public company standards. >> to the federal government. >> and it is. >> alarming how. >> the financial operations and financial management. >> is set up today. >> under the biden administration, there was no departmental oversight within the department of interior whatsoever. none. we are now reviewing every single contract, every single grant. and when things come to my attention that don't make

sense, i'm bringing them to secretary burgum. and he has been fantastic. >> well, this is a revolution. and i think it might be the it might be the biggest revolution in government since the original revolution. but at the end of the day, america is going to be in much better shape. america will be solvent. the critical programs that people depend upon will work, and it's going to be a fantastic future here. >> now with reaction, the big money show co-host brian brenberg, along with fox news contributor joe concha. you know, brian, starting with you, i really hope most of america saw that interview. and i think they did, because what i saw was a team that was smart and strategic and thoughtful and talked about compassion and totally crumbled. the liberal media narrative that exists about doge. >> these guys. >> are so reasonable. kayleigh. okay. >> all you read about. >> in the press is. >> that. >> you know, they're. >> going out there and they're

just. taking a sledgehammer to everything, and then you listen to them and they talk about it, and they bring the receipts and they talk about the departments, and they give you examples and they tell you, and this is so important, kayleigh, the reason they're doing this is not primarily to cut things. it's to save things. it's to save the things people care about. they care about social security. you want to save it, get rid of race. you want the government to work better for you. you've got to get rid of the fraud in government. but it's like you get one story in the media and then you spend five minutes listening to these guys and you're like, oh, okay, this sounds pretty good. we should do more of this, actually, because private companies do it all the time, in fact. >> and the one part that stood out to me, joe, we played were you see, the one doge employee say, there's all this talk about firings. most of it's been voluntary individuals leaving, and he gives that percentage that 0.15% of the federal workforce has been fired. that is minuscule. but

you would not know that if you were only consuming msnbc or cnn, the new york times or the washington post. >> right. you would think. >> that 75% of the federal. >> workforce has. >> been fired. >> when again, 0.15%. >> but. >> kelly. >> i'm going to go against. >> you guys here. >> doj's gone too far. sorry. >> i'm going to say what american doesn't want to pay for programs pushing. >> gender equity. >> in the mexican workplace? >> who isn't. >> for improving. >> respect for workers. >> rights and. >> agricultural supply chains in guatemala? >> that's right. basically anybody with. >> common sense. >> hussein and sober, we need. >> to see more of the doge team. >> to brian's point in. >> interviews on a regular basis. >> they came. >> across as organized, as you said. >> compassionate. >> intelligent, and they are serious as. >> a heart. >> attack when it comes to tackling waste, fraud, corruption. >> and abuse, which again 80 over 20 issue. >> if you take doge, elon musk and all the branding that goes on, you talk about those four things and most people want. >> that out of. >> here at this point. so that was must see tv tonight. it is back. and i recommend to everybody out there to go watch

this, because it's the best unintentional comedy out there that elon musk is out there doing this alone. when you see his team, they're impressive. if i'm the white house comms team, get them out there as much as possible. they can handle anybody, including hostile networks, including one that kelly may or may not have worked at at one point. >> hey, don't defame me as such, brian. i want to go back to the tesla facilities being targeted and i want to play this sound bite. this is from 2022. this is hakeem jeffries. he has a deep seated passion and it's to combat domestic terrorism. listen to this. >> we also, of course, have to act decisively to address the poison of white supremacy and domestic terrorism in america. it's a poison. it's a cancer. it's destroying our society. >> why hasn't he mentioned the domestic terrorist targeting tesla facilities? >> he's got curious definitions of poison and cancer, doesn't he? actually, when it's when it's an issue he cares about,

then it's very, very bad. but now he doesn't have time to talk about it. same with nancy pelosi. this is ridiculous. elon musk is serving the american people with his businesses and in the government, and none of these guys have the courage to say so. >> all right. thank you both. coming up, more special edition of hannity next. >> kids. >> i'm sure. >> you're. >> wondering why your mother and i asked you here tonight. >> moving to hawaii. >> we're getting a puppy. >> we don't have to. >> go to school anymore. unicorns are real. no no no no no no no. >> it's because it's a buffet. >> of all you can eat. butterfly shrimp. >> and. >> sirloin steak. yeah, that's. >> the reason. >> oh, hi. >> mike huckabee here. having spent many years in politics, i can comfortably say that the current climate is enough to keep any of us awake at night. and i safeguard my well-being by making sure that i get a good night's rest with relaxing sleep. america's number one trusted sleep aid. >> i'm doctor eric, celebrity
